New Poly owner here too! We’re staying for the first time this September
New Poly owner here too! We’re staying for the first time this September
About to close out on our first contract! We just love the atmosphere, the convenience and food.
Other DVC owners definitely seem to have their apprehensions about Polynesian due to the fact that the Bungalows take up 25% of the points. But the way I look at it is, 75% of the points are in studios, which is obviously much more than any other resort. Studios are what gets snapped up first. So in terms of competition for STUDIOS, Polynesian is actually the “easiest” resort to book.
If you only have enough points to stay in a studio anyway, why would you care that another resort has 1 or 2 bedrooms available?
Anyway, I am wondering, in general, what booking is like at 11 months out. We are likely to go during the last week of August every year, but could switch it up from time to time.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Really looking forward to my first stay!
And, just a shot in the dark here, would anyone be so kind as to tell me if there is availability March 8 or March 9 for a week? I know we are now at 10 months out, but as that would be the other potential time we would travel, I wanted to have a sense.
For future reference the DIS prohibits asking about availability. It can change minute to minute anyway.
ACK!!! I didn't know!!!For future reference the DIS prohibits asking about availability. It can change minute to minute anyway.

Those frickin' meatballs were worth every dollar I paid for our points. I DREAM about them...(try the curry meatballs! Yum!).
I did notice that the guest make up appeared to be families with younger children or groups of adults.
We fall into the “younger children” category and the access to MK was certainly a big factor in selecting Poly. Literally months of research and pro/con lists resulted in selecting Poly. This said, I do foresee a time (not that we would necessarily want to, but we would probably have to) that we will end up at AKL, specifically when the kids age and more space becomes necessary. But for now, keeping bus rides with tired kids to a minimum is fine with me!
Closing documents and funds sent yesterday! Now just waiting for account access!
